Imitation is NOT the sincerest form of flattery.....
Nice to know that plagiarism is wonderfully prevalent even on Threadless....

This "Girl Friday" should not have gotten any money or any applause for just taking someone elses work and retracing it on Adobe Illustrator.
I could do that in, at most, an hour.

The only person who deserves any praise (or royalties for that matter) is the photographer.

Are you referring to me/my likeness? I'm the photographer. I got a new camera that day; I remember being too excited to wait 'til I got home to try it out (and what a crappy picture I took).



After having several people "borrow" and profit from my stuff, I got over this shirt -- assuming it is indeed sporting my likeness ... which, in my opinion, it obviously is. Oh well.

^No. They mean that they used an image to trace over in illustrator. It doesn't matter. Threadless said thats the last time they will print stock photography (maybe they had to pay??). Tracing is fine though...

If only I had known that back when I first saw the shirt. Ha!
